It Is Not Nigeria’s Responsibility To Forgive Boko Haram – Ex-Soldiers Condemn Reintegrating Terrorists Into Society
Some retired soldiers have warned the Federal Government to desist from rehabilitating and reintegrating some repentant terrorists who have gone through the government’s deradicalisation programme, Operations Safe Corridor (OSC). Naija News reports that the rehabilitation programme began during former president Muhammadu Buhari’s administration and has seen no fewer than 4,000 ex-Boko Haram members go through the programme.
In January 2023, no fewer than 613 rehabilitated terrorists undergoing de-radicalisation were scheduled to be handed over by the military authorities to their respective state governors. However, in July 2022, some repentant Boko Haram members, despite renouncing their membership of the terror group, were accused of having contact with their former colleagues and supplying them intelligence.
The former terrorists were said to be among the 800 persons who were recently reintegrated into the Bama community in Borno State and were resettled at the Government Girls’ Secondary School Bama. Speaking on the development, a retired colonel, Hassan Stan-Labo told Punch that, “If we have mobilised and brought them (terrorists) out for rehabilitation, it is already too late; there is nothing we can do but to go the whole hog; go through the entire demobilisation, de-radicalisation and rehabilitation. “However, if I were the commander-in-chief, my instructions would have been: ‘Don’t bring anybody for any damn rehabilitation; you bloody well will pay the price for whatever you have done on the battle front’.
